mohit9206 Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Germany increases tests done per day to 100k. Maybe India should do 100k a day too. Now many would say what's the point of increasing testing, if its pointless then why are other countries doing so many tets per day too. Go tell them to do less tests.

Are those random Don't think it's random, must be tests for people with symptoms + repeat tests + testing for containment/quarantine zones. 1023 is the exact figure from today's briefing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 2 minutes ago, silentassassin said: Yestday it was 68 % because of markaz and 28% of total cases. Also about those 11k tests. Are those random ? ICMR did random testing of people who had symptoms, 800 tests, all turned negative. Now they test 1. Symptomatic people 2. Direct regular contacts, like siblings, parents, spouses 3. Traced Contacts, when a spreader moved around. 3rd one is still not fully utilised. But today it showed we are still doing good despite Markaz hiccup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To determine if people have built immunity to the virus Germany is doing different kind of testing. 100k is likely w/o antibody. they mix 16 samples together, test it, if positive, do the binary separation to isolate.

Germany has almost 1 lakh cases. They are growing at about 4-5 thousand a day. Of course their testing needs to be more than us. We should also increase our testing obviously, but this comparison doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
